Life In The Saddle

I am always on the lookout for new and interesting cereal bars—that can work as good #RideFuel energy bars for long bike rides and adventures. The new Breakfast Bars from KIND looked to be a super choice when I saw them arrive on the shelves of my local shops—moist, nutritious, and offering some tantalising flavours. I picked a few up to stash in my jersey pocket… Ravenous, on a 200-kilometre gravel ride this week, I pulled out one of each of the three flavours of the KIND Breakfast Bars over the course of the ride (in addition to a local bakery stop). It served as a great taste-panel test of the #RideFuel . The bars are made with five wholegrains: oats, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa.

I am a firm believer in 'Whole Foods'. Foods that haven't been messed with, or processed; foods that are as close as they can be to the simple natural ingredients that compose them. The range of KIND Nuts and Spices snack bars are some of the best 'Whole Food' bars that I have come across. The ingredients list on the back of a KIND bar doesn't read like an essay. With less than 20 component parts in most of their products, and no unpronounceable names of preservatives and additives, these are simple products that taste great. My particular favourites are the 'Peanut Butter & Dark Chocolate' flavour, and the 'Maple Glazed Pecan & Sea Salt'. Both seriously tasty. Whether it is a snack bar at coffee time, or fuel for the ride; these bars are a great mix of energy, protein and fibre. Simple. Natural. Tasty. #kindawesome View the KIND bar range a kindsnacks.co.uk
